The reason why I love people, and writing about them, is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.

To be persuasive, we must be believable. To be believable, we must be credible. To be credible, we must be truthful.

I love Agatha like uh huh. I love her like an elephant needs nasty rhinoplasty and plastic rhino sex.

Jarod Kintz

In short, luck's always to blame.

Jean de La Fontaine

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.

John Adams

Let your will burn in this fire so that it takes you nowhere else. Let your self be burned in this fire of eternity, love and peace. Don't be afraid of this fire, it is love itself. This desire for freedom is the fire of love!

Sri H.W.L. Poonja

I find intelligence sexy. I find a sense of humor sexy. I find sensitivity sexy.

Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

Samuel Johnson

Only happy people can learn. Only happy people can teach. Our religion should put a sparkle in our eyes and a tone in our voice, and a spring in our step that bears witness of our faith and confidence in the goodness of God.

History is one of the most remarkable things in our lives. The mere fact it occurred makes it remarkable.

He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity.

William Samuel Johnson

Knowledge is power. Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.

Helen Keller

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides. To say 'oral method' to a sign teacher was like waving a red flag in the face of a bull, and to say 'sign language' to an oralist aroused the deepest resentment.
